Zaffroni Sooji Ka Sheera:
Saffron Infused Semolina Halwa. Rawa Halwa. Rawa Kesari.
It isn’t what I exactly planned it to be, blogging about nothing! I mean the usual stuff, I know sometimes (okay, okay kool…many a times) my recipes are not so blog worthy. Come on, how many people would actually ruin a simple dessert!! Are there really someone’ who waits for my recipes to be published in order to cook a meal?! But, I still wanna work out so hard to re-create what Mommy fixed ‘just like that’ ! Love to record every single-simple everyday recipes!! However, I could never say that I perfected it though…that is a different story!!! Yet, it brings lots of happiness to imitate Mom’s style of cooking. Yeah, just the usual’s, no fuzz menus. I dunno, whenever am kind of home-sick’ this sort of cooking therapy helps me to feel better! Well, so if you really care about my regular recipes, here you go…
Ingredients
Semolina 1 cup
Condensed milk 1/4 cup
Whole milk 3 cups
Sugar 3/4 cup
Ghee 1/4 cup
Saffron few strands
Cashew nuts 1 fistful
Raisins 1 fistful
Method
Heat ghee and add the nuts and raisins, once they turn fragrant, set aside.
In the same oil, add sugar and a cup of water, bring this to thick syrup. Further add milk and condensed milk. Bring this to boil.
Add powdered saffron and semolina, cover and cook. Add ghee if necessary. If the moisture is all sucked up, its done.
Serve warm or chilled as a dessert.
Malar, that looks perfect and come on you cannot post every day a recipe that no body has ever seen or only eaten i hotels but never at home kind, know what I mean? You are doing good girl
